A crime is “unfounded” if a reported crime is investigated by law enforcement authorities and found to be false or baseless, meaning that the crime did not occur or was never attempted. Only sworn or commissioned law enforcement personnel may unfound a crime. Though rare, crime reports can be properly determined to be false only if the evidence from a complete and thorough investigation establishes that the crime reported was not, in fact, completed or attempted in any manner. When it does occur, unfounded crimes are reported in the year in which they were originally reported.

Crimes for which no arrest is made, there is lacking evidence, or law enforcement has no leads or are not considered unfounded crimes.
